Gram (GRAM), previously known as Toncoin (TON), is a cryptocurrency that operates on a decentralized network, utilizing blockchain technology for secure and efficient transactions. It aims to provide users with a reliable and versatile digital asset for various financial and technological applications.

Connection to Telegram Gram has a close relationship to the Telegram app, which makes it stand out from other cryptocurrencies. While developed separately from the app, it has been integrated into it. This gives a wide number of users access to payments with Gram in an application they're already using. Telegram announced a partnership with the TON Foundation in September 2023, bringing its non-custodial wallet called TON Space into its app. Following a community vote in June 2026, the token officially returned to its original name, Gram (GRAM).

Scalability and high transaction speed Gram is specifically designed to support an enormous number of transactions per second, making it one of the fastest blockchain networks available. With Gram's high transaction speed, users can swiftly complete their transactions, ensuring seamless and convenient user experiences. To achieve scalability, the underlying blockchain (The Open Network) implements a multi-blockchain architecture known as the "TON Multichain." This architecture allows the creation of interconnected blockchains called "shards." Each shard has its own set of validators responsible for confirming transactions within that specific shard. By distributing the workload across multiple shards, the network ensures that it can handle a significantly higher transaction volume without compromising security or performance.
